Four vicious thugs who left an elderly Welsh couple and their son in hospital after a savage and unprovoked attack in Thailand have been jailed, according to reports.

Lewis and Rosemary Owen and their son were beaten unconscious when the drunken gang attacked them in Hua Hin during the Thai New Year celebrations in April.

Mrs Owen, then 65, from Wenvoe, near Cardiff , was left with brain damage while her husband, 68, and son, also named Lewis, 43, needed stitches for head injuries, their dreadful beating captured on CCTV.

Each attacker sentenced to four years

Their attackers have been jailed for the brutal attack, the Bangkok Post said.
